After the cast you count the lure down before starting the retrieve, so the same lure can be worked just under the surface, through a mid-water bait school, or right along the bottom. A fixed-weight system — the ballast does not shift inside the body — keeps the lure balanced in flight and stable on the drop, and combined with the streamlined 85mm body it casts a long way and lands accurately. On a steady wind the transparent diving lip gives a tight, fast wobble; short twitches break that into sharp darting movements that draw reaction strikes. At 85mm it suits rivers, canals, reservoirs and sheltered coastal water alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e85mm \/ 11.5g sinking body — depth is set by the angler, not by the lure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed-weight system keeps the lure balanced in casting and stable on the sink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreamlined profile supports long, accurate casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparent diving lip produces a tight wobbling action on the retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarts sharply off line when twitched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sharp treble hooks at belly and tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated by the maker for freshwater and saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountdown to find the fish\u003c\/strong\u003e — This is the method the lure is built for.
